"She's a good woman" Allison compliment referring to Elena. Ares shot her an inquisitive look to which she shrugs. "My fashion line is in collaboration with her" She explains. "She's been a model for our product for quite some time now. We're very close friends--" She proceeds Ares getting lost in the middle of the conversation.An Idea suddenly popped on his head lighting up his eyes. "How close?" he asks cutting her off.She stops before her lips part to say, "Quit much but we seem to be growing apart since I got into the system""You're moving to New York" Ares announces."No. Why would I? I don't have any business there" "You do now, you'll be leaving with me" She gave him a look of 'Why the sudden decision' or was he already playing the ordering brother role?"I need you to be part of this. You have to get closer to her, I don't know if she has any information about the Rortex but I do know Cristian does" Ares reasoned his eyes zoned to a particular spot in the parlor, connec
"Ready?" Ares asked through the mouthpiece. "Yes," Both Henry and Allison answered. They just got to the Kingsley Mansion where Elena's birthday would be taking place.Henry and Elana had gone in already giving some unnoticeable distance between themselves as ordered by Ares, whereas Ares just walked in.Ares is dressed in a casual outfit one that looks partially worn out almost intimated by the men who wore tuxes and ladies with fancy dresses. The Theme of the part screamed elegance one that Ares didn't possess, or so he did.He walked his hand in the pocket and the first person he saw was Mrs Kingsley heading towards him her nose flaring in displeasure.He chuckles knowing very well what had made her upset yet decided to act oblivious. He cleared his throat as she got there."Good Evening Mum" he greeted Infuriating her even more. She glared at him, "What are you wearing? And don't you dare call me that, I'd rather die than birth a disgrace like you" She spat more into a mumble
"Bring me down," she fires as they step out of the hall barely above a whisper.He ignores her.She hits his chest with her soft hands, trying to get him to keep her down, yet to no avail. If only she knew what that did to him, she'd stop before things get messy."You do not own. I am not your wife Ares Russor. I never will and never will be," she blurts, her voice weary just as her lids.He still didn't get her a response, knowing very well it was the effect of the alcohol messing with her head, so it was of no use getting into an argument with her.She cupped his face with her left palm, running her hands around his jawline, "How can you be this handsome? " He chuckled, clearly amused. Normally, alcohol makes people say things they've been keeping off, so here she was admitting to his looks."Do you have to look good even in the filthy clothes you where?" She adds. Henry suddenly approached them. "You stay here with Allison. I'll drive us home, " he orders, knowing very well that
Elena has been avoiding Ares ever since she woke up snuggled next to him, which didn't go unnoticed by Ares but he pretended oblivious and nonchalant too, adding to her tension.He walked in on Allison and Elena who seemed to be engrossed in a deep sorta conversation. He stood by the side where they didn't get a sight of him listening to their talks."Per say you get wasted in a club and maybe end up having a one night stand with someone and next thing you wake up to a stranger --- A hot one, to be precise, and next thing you can't get him off your head" Elena explained uneasily. Ares had to fight back a chuckle so as not to get noticed. He knew she was talking about him and knowing that he had his thoughts carved on her mind made him feel dominant."Huh! Did you have a one-night stand?" Allison asked her tune laced with pretense as though she didn't put one on one together. She had felt Ares' light steps when he walked him and could feel his presence yet she pretended not to so as
Ares paced to the lobby of the hospital, the silent walls of the VIP section filled with thick Air. He has just arrived at the hospital where Mr Kingsley was brought.He was on a call with Allison earlier and she told him that Elena had received the news even before he did and they were currently on their way to the hospital. Ares sighted Elena wrapped in Mrs Kingsley's warmth both tense as they sat quietly in tears, their sobs filling the Air. His steps halted as Mrs Kingsley noticed him, her eyes dark and daring but deep within them held fear and pain. Fear of losing her husband. She lifted Elena from the hug just then Elena noticed Ares. His eyes softened as they fell into hers, he could see the burning pain in them, he almost had to fight the urge to have her in his arms and give assurance, assurance that everything would be fine and that she needed nothing to worry about. "You! You did this " She fires pointing an accusing finger at him. His brows drew together in confusion
"Elena" Cristian calls, gaining their attention.He walked towards them alongside the cops that he had come with. Ares on the other hand knew right there that his suspicions were right.But what is it between Lucas and Marcus that led him to almost kill Lucas? Ares knew for a fact that it wasn't only because they wanted to frame him and get him out of the game, there was more to it and he'd figure it out.Cristian pulled Elena in for a hug just as he got to her urging her to break into sobs and retaliating the gesture."Shh... He's going to be fine" Cristian consoles, sharing a stern look with Ares, the corner of his lips spreading into a light smirk that was only noticed by Ares.It took every nerve in Areas not to wipe that smirk off his face. Just then the door to the ICU door burst open revealing the doctors and nurses In charge of Mr Kingsley's surgery. All their attention drew back to them, Mrs Kingsley rushing to them alongside Elena and Cristian."The bullet penetrated throu
Ares stood at the corner of the prison, his knuckles stained with blood. The policemen that were sent to interrogate him or rather beat the truth out of him lying almost lifeless on the ground.His jawline hardened, nose flaring with barely contained rage. His anger divided; one for the embarrassment he had to withhold, the accusation of attempted murder, one for Elena."You asshole, I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life close behind bars." One of the men groaned while the other unlocked the cell.Ares ignored them, his back facing them.Just then Allisson and Henry made an appearance."Ares" Allison calls out only then did he turn to face the outside of the cell he was in. "Get me out of here" he ordered his tune hard and precise. Henry nods, "David is working on it.""I saw what happened in the hospital, Ares you shouldn't have--" He cut her off before she could proceed. "Get me the security footage of Kingsley's office.""Henry worked out on that and we found out that t
Ares sat on the seat m waiting for their return from the graveyard. Today was the day Kingsley's fake body was to be buried.Ares had planned out everything so well and unnoticeable. He had everything under control, and Kingsley was moved to England for better treatment. Ares had managed to close off any sign that could implicate them or burst out their secret. He stared at his wrist watch already tired of having to wait. He hissed impatiently tapping on his foot. Just then he heard the roaring of the engine signifying their return. He huffed out a breath he didn't know he was holding.Time to put on with their shenanigans. Ares increased the volume to the action pack movie that was playing pretending to be engrossed in watching it.He heard their light footsteps walking in and the break they both sucked in shocker didn't go unheard by Ares. He placed his one leg on the other sparkling on the chair. "You!" Elena thundered.He got up pretending to be startled by their return. "You
